This is the one aspect of the K3 I find frustrating. To QSY a few hundered kHz takes a lot of turning. I really like the way some radios speed up the tuning rate as you turn the dial faster. I use the RIT tuning very often to QSY quickly and for larger steps I end up having to use DFE which is tedious and often results in mistakes. I think this is almost the only thing Icom do better.
To answer your question Eric, I don't find the higher corse tuning steps useful so I won't miss 2.5kHz steps. wayne burdick wrote: > > We've had many requests to provide an 0.5-kHz VFO tuning step size in > SSB modes.
